Which is not included in newer opensource accomplishments regarding Broadcom wireless

The weird thing is for Debian~unstable the dkms method builds a working wl.ko for the siduction.org kernel. This kernel I can copy with its /lib/modules to my Gentoo installation, dracut an initramfs, and Broadcom wl.ko works! But with minor module dependencies as shown running
linux-image-3.6-1.towo-siduction-amd64

Code:

lsmod|grep wl
wl 2593458 0
lib80211 5245 1 wl

My linux-3.5.7 kernel normally shows an additional:

Code:

cfg80211 187208 1 wl

[edit 1] Just to disable in linux .config CFG80211 doesn't work either:
- systemctl start wpasupplicant@wlan0 doesnt segfault the whole system any more
- But it doesn't do any connect either. Also ifconfig doesn't show up the interface wlan0 any more

[edit 2] I solved my issue. Look at the bug link for my patch! It is the old wext interface possible only. My linux .config:

Code:

CONFIG_CFG80211=m
CONFIG_NL80211_TESTMODE=y
CONFIG_CFG80211_DEVELOPER_WARNINGS=y
# CONFIG_CFG80211_REG_DEBUG is not set

I tried the b43 drivers on my card and it doesn't load my card. The linux wireless site says it's untested._________________"It said on the side of the box "Requires Windows 95 or better", So I installed Linux"

A) The best solution for me was
- copying newer linux-firmware-nonfree from Ubuntu-12-10
- purging broadcom-sta
- removing blacklisting of b43
- enabling b43 kernel .config + new kernel compile
But this is my three year old Mac-mini.

There should be other places available to get the new b43 firmware, I guess: somewhere kernel.org

B) does work, yes.

I cannot parse the rest of your post, possibly because of missing punctuation.

Can you provide the details on how you got it to work. I have the same as you BCM43228 and I am struggling to get wireless to work. Right now I have the broadcom-sta installed, it shows wl as installed as a module, wlan0 comes up but it fails to make a connection at all to my network.
